This is a strangely absorbing thread. I'll add mine to the list:

 

28mm Summicron ASPH

35mm Summilux ASPH FLE

50mm Summicron 50 jahre edition

50mm Summilux ASPH

90mm Tele-Elmarit "fat" version

 

Still regretting selling my 1978 Noctilux and 35mm Summicron eight element. Love the 50mm Summilux though - my favourite lens.

 

Best wishes all,

 

Colin

I guess it is the reinforcement aspect? ANd, I can understand the motivation to purchase and use three copies of the same lens  ;). It is my struggle to avoid the purchase of another 24 Elmarit...

 

24 Elmarit

28 Summilux

50 APO

50 Summilux ASPH black chrome

75 Summilux

 

15 Super-Elmarit ASPH via R-M adapter

Sold my 21mm f/3.4 Super-Elmar-M ASPH and 90mm f/2 APO Summicron

 

My Leica M240 lens kit now consists of a 35mm f/1.4 Summilux FLE ASPH and 50mm f/2 APO Summicron
 

My backup camera is the Sony a7rII and Zeiss Batis 25/2 and Zeuss Batis 85/1.8.

 

I can us the Leica lenses on the a7rII if needed, but the Batis lenses will not work on the M240.

I am quite relieved to see that I am not alone in having far more lenses than I need due to acquiring them over the past 40+ years and a certain reluctance to sell lenses I no longer use. Like Luigi Bertolotti I have a liking for Visoflex lenses which I still use on the M240 with EVF instead of my VisoflexIII.

 

Anyway my M lenses are:

 

15mm Voigtlander v3

21MM SEM

28mm Elmarit Asph

35mm Zeiss F2

50mm Summilux Asph

90mm Tele Elmarit (Thin version)

135mm Tele Elmar

 

I also have MANY more lenses than I use regularly. 

Most used are:  WA Tri-Elmar, 35/2 version I,  35/2 aspherical, 50/2 rigid, version I, 75/1.4, 90/2.8 and 135/apo.
